Chapter 247 The Wife Behaves Strangely Around Us

• As two fine young men came over to say hello, Mrs. Wallace Sr. looked at Nicole in puzzlement, as if waiting for her to introduce them, only to see Nicole’s brows knitted together. “What are you doing here?” Nicole asked. Harvey did not mind her attitude. Instead, he sat down next to her. Edwin asked for Mrs. Wallace Sr.’s permission before he, too, sat down by her side. “I heard your grandma was coming, so I thought I should come to meet her,” Harvey said, sounding as if he was someone close to Nicole or something.
• Now, even Mrs. Wallace Sr. felt a little unease, but she was worried that he was Nicole’s good friend, so she asked tentatively, “You are?” Harvey smiled with no hesitation. “Nicole and my grandfather know each other, and it was he who recommended Nicole to study at this school. Knowing that you came to see Nicole, I thought I had to come to meet you, too.” Harvey was not lying. When he got the news of Nicole’s grandmother coming, he immediately came over. Nicole could not stand him. She stood up abruptly and glared at him. “What do you want?”
• Harvey felt insulted by her question. He was so exasperated that she thought he was here to see her grandma with some ulterior motive. Harvey’s face sank, but his eyes were still gentle, just that there was an added unfathomableness in them. Even if he had a motive, he was definitely hoping that by pleasing her grandmother, Nicole would not be so resentful of him. Thinking of this, Harvey looked up at Nicole thoughtfully. “I heard you and your grandma used to live in Great Oak?” he asked. If Shawn’s information was accurate, he might get the answer he wanted from Nicole.
